Synopsis
Annie Proulx third collection of "Wyoming Stories" (after CLOSE RANGE and BAD DIRT) shows the square state as a location of brutal realities: lethal weather, heartless characters, hardscrabble rural life, and plenty of heartbreak and death. The stories range in time from the 19th century to the modern era, but Proulx's harsh truths about nature, humanity, and history seem timeless. Her prose is beautiful, and her storytelling is devastating.

Industry Reviews
"[FINE JUST THE WAY IT IS] bears Proulx's brand of hard drama, hard irony, hard weather, and hard and soft characters blown about and many times destroyed by the powerful mix. Her sense of story is admirable, her sentences are artful, and she writes like a demon. She has nicely disrupted the mythology of the Old West."
